The Plant store is now closed for orders.

  • I'm planning on one last round of sales toward the end of September of plants that I'll be potting up from a nursery bed I planted in the fall of 2022. I'll post the details and the time once I have the plants ready to go
  • Please see the Using the Plant Library  page  for some tips on how to make the most of the information here to select species for creating a healthy native plant community suited to the conditions of your site.
  • Please see the Plant Nursery for a photo of the different sizes/prices on offer and for information on the sizing of these seedlings and the details of the sale

  • Full sun to partial shade
  • Moderate to high moisture soils
  • 48” to 60” tall, 18” to 36” wide

Still new to me, grown from seeds from the Ottawa Wildflower Seed Library

A lovely late-season addition to a high moisture area, like a shoreline or drainage area.
